Do I Know?

             (April 26, 2012)

         By Allan Thomasson

Do I know what love’s about?
It isn’t always “sing and shout!”.
Sometimes it hurts when love comes 'round.
Love always has its ups and downs.

But real love’s like a balance beam;

Sometimes you fall, sometimes you lean
To keep it right, and let it show.
And some may say, “I told you so!”.

Love all you have, and freely give.

We all need love to help us live
That happy life, with no distress.
But sometimes love is just a guess.

Day in, day out, love takes its flight

To bless all people day and night
Like 'Santa Claus' on Christmas Eve;
Love makes you doubt, but still believe

That love is good for each new day.

The secret is, “Give it away!”.
For if you give, it will come back.
To freely give it leaves no lack.

Real love is only given to

Those who most need it: (me and you!),
It is not seasonal, you see,
It thrives, though humans disagree.

It’s not determined by the 'look',

And love’s not something from a book.
It happens when we want it to:
You see each person as you choose.

It doesn’t seek just looks and poise,

And doesn’t use folks like they’re toys,
Nor in a play upon a stage,
It quells the anger, hate and rage.

It understands when some descend
Our baser self may yell, and rend
The ones to whom we’re closest drawn,
Though life’s askew, we must go on

To find the higher things in life,

That we must help their hurt and strife.
We must account for what we’ve done,
And face our hearts, yes, one by one.

How will our record on this earth
Look then to us, and show our worth
Where love was given, freely, purely,
To the ones before us, surely

“If we don’t, who will?”, we quote.

And so the book the 'holy' wrote
To show us truth, and love so pure,
While helping others to endure

The pain and agony they face

While standing in their awesome space.
It is love's duty, one and all,
To love our neighbor, lest they fall.
Some day, when we shall face our fate,
Should it be sad, or yet be great,
We must account for what we’ve done,
And face our hearts, yes, one by one.

And that will be the time we'll know

That we did all these things below
That helped our peers, and showed them true
That perfect love, from me and you.

I John 4:10-11:

10) "Herein is love, not that we loved God (at first), but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11) "Beloved, if God so loved us, we ught also to love one another."

Romans 5:8:

8) "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinnere, Christ died for us."

John 3:16:

16) "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish (with the wicked), but have everlasting life."

When I (April 26, 2012)
By Allan Thomasson

At night, when I am fast asleep,
Not conscious any way,
I know my God, my soul shall keep,
Until then comes the day.

I did not know, a crawling child,
That there was God, above,
He kept me in His loving hands,
Held fast in His own love.

There’s not a time He isn’t here,
Beside me, all the while,
To care for me, and keep me free
He loves to see me smile!

When I was but a growing child,
He made His presence known.
‘Twas then I gave my heart to Him.
And He shall bring me Home.

Another Time and Place (April 24, 2012)
By Allan Thomasson


I'd like to live my life again;
I don't know where. I can't say when.
But if I could, 'tis understood;
The things that I could change, I would,

To plan our ways for better days,
Improve the world, with no delays.
Why, in all practicality,
I have that life in front of me!

I could start now! My head I bow,
Because my mind did not allow
My thoughts to be on things so near;
And something has become quite clear:

Some other time? Some other place?
I see them right before my face.
My next step, then the next, and on
Till all my years of life are gone.

I should have started long ago,
When I was going to and fro,
To ease the suffering, toil, and strife.
How will you use your years of life?

'Infinity' (April 19, 2012)

By Allan Thomasson

When it comes time for me to go

(For now, my head is bending low),
Where I'll go, I already know:
To Infinty.

What will be there? What shall I see?

How will I feel? What will I be?
My God, my Savior, will greet me:
To eternity.

In God's great habitat, His home,

No one shall ever be alone,
And there, God's seated on His throne:
Permanently.

The beauty man could not describe,

But Jesus' arms are open wide,
I'll be for ever at His side:                                   II Corinthians 15:51-54
In ecstasy.

No sin, no harm, no discontent,

For on the earth, those came and went.
But then, that time, which was well spent
Has fled from me.

For Jesus came to our domain,

Died on that cross His blood did stain.                Isaiah 53:5-6; Luke 23:32-47
And now with Him I shall remain:
For He loves me.

For once I gave my heart to Him,

Believed; He took away my sin,                           Acts 10:43-48
Because I let my Savior in:
He saved me.

Some will not love my Savior dear,

The Bible makes this one thing clear:
In heaven, they will not appear:
Their destiny.

Will you then be among the few

Who will believe my Savior, too?
He will prepare a place for you:                         John 14:1
He did for me.

In Daniel twelve, and in verse two,

The Word describes both me and you,
And millions more of others, too:                       I Thessalonians 4:13-18
We'll rise, you see;

And we for evermore shall be

In our eternal destiny,                                          Revelation 21-7
With God our Savior, lovingly,
So go with me!

But others rising from the sod,

Who did not, through Christ, come to God,
Will, in contempt, by God's own Word,
In torment be.

The wicked (angels, devils, man)

Shall ever be from heaven banned,
In judgment in that fiery strand:                         Revelation 20:10-15
Eternally.

Eternity is everlasting; and to it there shall be no end. And wherever you are, there you shall always be, for it is the destiny you have chosen, by neglect, rejection, or other blameable reasons; for God made it available to you, and to all men everywhere.

Romans 5:8: Here's what God did for me and you, to prove that He loves us:

  8) “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

And here is His invitation to all souls of man:

John 3:16-18:

16) “For God so loved (every soul in) the world, that He gave His only begotten Son (to be the only acceptable Sacrifice for our sinful souls: Hebrews 10:1-5; Acts 4:12; John 14:6), that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish (as the wicked, having no hope in eternity), but have everlasting life.
17) “For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn (any person in) the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18) “He that believeth in Him is not condemned (any more): but he that believeth not is condemned (still) already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

God has given each person that ever lived the opportunity to repent, and to return to Him, so that we may be the person whom He created us to be, with love, joy, peace, patience, and all the righteousness which He Himself exhibits to all who love Him.

And that is what God is all about: the giving and receiving of love, and fellowship, everyone treating everyone as their equal, without judging, but with compassion and charity, with humility, toward every other person on the earth.

And this is God's pattern for the Church that Jesus built, that we conform to the following admonition, by God, through the commandment of Jesus Christ, by Paul, the apostle:
(Deuteronomy 18:18-19; Matthew 28:18-20)

I Corinthians 1:10: Paul, the apostle, firmly and lovingly, exhorts each believer in this passage:
10) "Now brethren, I beseech you by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing (truth, doctrine, understanding of the word of truth), and that there be no divisions (separation,denominations) among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together (I Corinthians 12:27) in one mind and in one judgment (according to the truth in the 'word of truth', the Christian Bible)."
(Ref: Romans chapter 14; John 13:34-35; John 14:21-24; Deuteronomy 18:18-19)

God loves you: love Him back!

'When' (April 16, 2012)

By Allan Thomasson

When I was a 'wayward soul',

This flesh of mine was pleased.
I took to all the pleasures then,
And lived the life of ease.

I had a personality,

And character as well.
I knew that if I kept it up,
I would wind up in hell.

But day by day, and week by week,

My goal in life was 'fun'.
I worked real hard then to fit in,
With almost everyonne.

But in my mind, I soon would find

That 'life' ain't everything.
I heard there was another way
That real true joy would bring.

I feared the hell that I might face,

Thus living wayward then,
So I believed in Jesus Christ.
He made me whole again.

When in my younger years, I knew

No sin, in innocence
Had kept me safe from sin and shame,
And that was my defense.

But now I knew that I had sinned,

And could not make it right;
For by myself alone, I'm lost
In sin, both day and night.

The only way back to my God

Was Jesus Christ, my Lord.
He lived the righteous life on earth,
According to God's word.

Then, in that sinless body He

Endured that cruel cross,
That everyone who would believe
Would never suffer loss.

I'm glad my Savior came to me,

And bid me, 'Let Me in.',
For, in the moment When I did,
He saved me from my sin.

Have you believed in Christ, the Son

Of the One Almighty God?
If not, you must, while on the earth,
Ere you lie beneath the sod.

He lived for us, and died for us,

That where He is, we'll be.
Yes, Jesus died for everyone,
For 'them', and you, and me.

And When this life on earth is o'er,

And time shall be no more,
Eternally, both you and me
Are saved for evermore.

'The End Is The Beginning' (April 15, 2012)

By Allan Thomasson

I have found so many scriptures

That speak clearly of the end.
But 'The End Is The Beginning'
For so many folks, my friend,                 I Corinthians 15:51-52; I Thessalonians 4:13-18
                                                                        

Who believed in Christ, the Savior.

He came from that throne above,
Gave His life to save all sinners,
Telling us of God's great love.                       Romans 5:8; John 3:16

Do you know this God that loves you?

Do you know of His Son, too?
We were sinners, lost, alone,                             Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12
He came to save both me, and you.

How can we shun a love so tender,

We were headed for a fall,
For our sin to hell would take us:                         Luke 16:19-24
Jesus came to die for all.                                              Isaiah 53:4-6

The end will come, no doubt about it.

Earth and space will all be gone.                      Revelation 20:11; II Peter 3:10-13
Do you still just 'want to chance it',
Willing to give up that home?

God will make new earth and heaven,           Revelation 21:1-7

There for ever we shall be.
If you here make your decision,
Then, with Him we'll always be.

Wicked shall be with the devil,               Revelation 20:10-15

Where God's fallen angels are:
In eternity's for ever.
Is that you're looking for?

It is real, as many know now.

To our God we each must turn.                      Ezekiel 33:11
Luke sixteen will tell the story:
That's the lesson we must learn.

Learn it from the Holy Bible,

Flee, escape that awful fate!                             II Peter 3:14-15
For 'The End Is The Beginning'
So then, none must hesitate.

Many have gone on before us,

To the place of which I speak.
We must be strong within our spirit,
For our flesh is frail and weak.                        Galatians 5:24; Matthew 26:41

Trust in God, receive the Savior.              Acts 16:31

Hope will come, security:
For 'The End Is The Beginning'
Of our life in eternity.

'Every Day' (April 15, 2012)

By Allan Thomasson

Every day, it's 'Out of bed,

Brush your teeth, toast your bread.
Fry some bacon and some eggs.
Wake up the kids, massage your legs.

Off to work, and off to school.'

Same routine: you know the rule!
Mix with people, eight to four;
That's how it's been each day before!.      Stop with the 'gloom, despair, and agony on me'!

But that's not what I'm thinking of!

I think of God, and His great love,
Which He bestowed upon His sons,            Note: 'sons' does not denote gender: (I John 3:1-3)
Because He loves us every one!

Those who believe, all know it's true,

God gave His Son for me and you.
And this we truly know quite well:
He saved our souls from a burning hell.

And sinners, God loves just as much,               Romans 5:8; John 3:16-18a

And wants to give that saving touch;
Our loving duty: Let them know                      II Corinthians 5:17-21
There is a God Who loves them so.

For we were lost. God sent someone                Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12

To let us know that God's own Son
Lived His whole life to make us free,            Matthew 5:17-18
And then He died upon that tree.

They mocked Him, spit upon His face,                        Isaiah 53:5-6

And scorned Him, though He brought them grace.        John 1:17
Rejected Him. They speared His side                        John 1:10-11; John 19:34
While His pure heart was open wide                             Luke 23:34

To then receive those believing few,

And millions more, both me, and you.                    
He will not turn a one away:                                  John 6:37
Will you believe in Him today?

Tomorrow, it may be too late.                             James 4:14

Believe Him now, don't hesitate.
Come, go with me to that Home above,
Where there's peace and joy, eternal love.

God shall make new earth and new heaven.       Revelation 21:1-7
We'll be there, all our sins forgiven
While on the earth, we found God's favor,              Acts 16:31
Now we'll live with God for ever.

'God's Patterns And Principles'

TRUTH IN CHRIST MINISTRIES, with Apostolic Believers' Worldwide Fellowship In Christ:

Presenting the truth as it is in Christ Jesus, which is only revealed by the Spirit of truth, the Holy Ghost (John 16:12-13), and the plan of God for the
                   
Last Days' Ministry To The Church That Jesus Built
                                   
'Hands across denominations'
'Bridging the gap between believing sisters and brothers in Christ',
in love and fellowship throughout the body of Christ, the Church.

I Corinthians 1:10: God's pattern for the Church, the body of Christ:
10) “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that
ye all speak the same thing (truth, doctrine), and that there be no divisions (denominations) among you; but that ye be perfectly joined (assembled, as a body: I Corinthians 12:27) in the same mind and in the same judgment.”
(Ref: Exodus 25:40: God's patterns and principles.)

Written by: Allan Thomasson, humble servant of the Lord Jesus Christ, and of all my sisters and brothers in every nation, and in every denomination that preaches the gospel of Jesus Christ, with the love of God, as it is identified in the several commandments of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, which are given to Jesus by God the Father (Ref: John 14:21-24):

Deuteronomy 18:18-19: God speaks to Moses:
18) "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him.
19) "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which He shall speak in My name, I will' require it of him (who hearkens not)."

John 13:34-35: Jesus speaks to His apostles he had chosen:

34) "A new commandment I give unto you, 'That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.'
35) "By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another."

Charity with humility, through faith In Jesus Christ:

(Romans 14:l-6,19, 12-13,18-19; Philippians 1:15-18)
Note: God's Word is not a book of 'suggestions', for He is very specific and concise in His principles of faith and practice, as the Old Testament details, and the New Testament reveals.

Jehovah (Yahweh) God is the Father of all who believe in and on the Lord Jesus Christ, the only Savior of the lost souls of man, and (as is stated in His word in Deuteronomy 18:19), and as our Father, He will chastise us with the love of a Father to correct us, and  He will specifically direct His house, as we also are instructed to do with our own. God is perfect, and we must also allow Him to bring us to perfection by His true word, in which are also hidden wisdom and mysteries, some of which we shall write in these poems and discourses regarding the perfect will of the Father.

God so dearly loves you: love Him back, and be saved by His grace and mercy:

Romans 5:8: This is the initial expression of the love of God for all people:
 8) "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

John 3:16: This is the promised provision of God to prove His love to all sinners:
16) "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

'What The Future Holds' (April 13, 2012)

By Allan Thomasson

'Noone knows what the future holds.'

I hear that, now and then.
But let me tell you what I know,
And where we might have been:

If we had gone our sinful ways,

And Christ came not from His throne:
This is the truth, and we shall know,
When the universe is gone.                     Revelation 20:11

God sent the pair, both Eve and Adam

Out of that paradise                                                Genesis 3:23
Because of sin that they had done,               Genesis 2;16-17, 3:6
They took the wrong advice.                      Genesis 3:1-5

The curse was placed on their son, Cain,

Rejected by all men.
He killed his brother Abel and                       Genesis 4:3-8
Was punished for his sin.

God sent a flood upon the earth,

And took them all away,
Who once had known, that God was God,
And they all died that day.                          Genesis 6:17

When Jesus came to Israel,

Him, they did not receive.
Their house was then left desolate,             Matthew 23:37-38
For they did not believe.

The world will end. The universe,

Also, will be no more,                                                      II Peter 3:10-14
When God shall sit on the great white throne,
Judge the wicked by the score.                              Revelation 20:10-15

They will be cast into the lake

Of fire, for evermore,
Then God, new earth and heav'n will make.          Revelation 21:1-7
He's spoken it before.

So do we now know, in a sense,

What soon the future holds?
Believe in Jesus Christ, God's Son,
And He will save your souls.                           Acts 10:43-48

We cannot wait: don't be too late,

Choose now,your destiny.
That 'fate' awaits, I tell you straight,
In that eternity

For every one, who rejects God's Son;

But heaven greets the saved.
And you must make your decision now,
Ere you lie in your own grave.

Daniel 12:2: Here is a brief look at the resurrection of the dead, the saved, and the unsaved:
2)“And many of them (all) that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to (eternal) shame and everlasting contempt.”

John 3:16-18: This is God's promise, and His move, toward sinners' salvation:

16) “For God so loved (each and every person, equally, who are in) the world, that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ, to be the only acceptable Sacrifice that would take away our past sins), that whosoever beleiveth in Him should not perish (as the wicked), but have everlasting life.
17) “For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn (any person in) the world, but that they (every one in the world) might be saved (by believing in Jesus).
18) “He that believeth on Him is not condemned (any longer by their past sins which they have committed, and which are now taken away by believing in Jesus, the only Savior of lost souls of men): but he that believeth not (on Him) is (still) condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son (the man, Christ Jesus, in Whom was God the Word) of (the only true and living) God (the Father, Jehovah).”

God loves you: love Him back!

Romans 5:8: Here is how God has shown us how loves the sinner, wants us to be in His family:

 8) "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

The blogs which I post on this blogspot are often incomplete, and that is for one of at least two reasons, the common ones being these two:

1) That every one who reads an unfinished blog may research it more thoroughly for themselves, finding the scriptures which are referenced within the blogs, and those scriptures which may come to mind in the reader, with personal contemplated determinations as they understand them, and coordinating truth with truth within that writing, with regards to:
Isaiah 28:9-10; Isaiah 55:8-11; I Corinthians 2:14; John 16:12-13.

2) Because these things must be publicised and distributed quickly, delivering the message within them to as many as this ministry shall reach, either sent by myself, by whatever means is made available to me, or by othere who are stirred by the content of these truths, sending these writings to as many as possible, which are not fully or generally known by the masses of affiliated believers to the many denominations of the Church that Jesus built. And I am called to write them, that we each and all, may be as fully alerted tot he importance of this 'Last Days' Ministry To The Body of Christ', which includes all believers, whether affiliated or not, with any assembly, or group, or organized denomination, for the body of Christ is composed of all believers in Christ to the salvation of their souls, in whatever scenario they may be found; they are the 'sons of God', our sisters and brothers in Christ: I Corinthians 12:27; I Corinthians 1:10; Acts 10:32-38; I John 3:1-3, and other scriptures which reveal various situations in which a 'son of God' may be found: Acts 19:1-7, for one example.

These are the last, the final, days of the Church on earth, and we are divided by our various doctrines, which were determined, in many assemblies and organizations of both believers and non-believers in the various denominations, by interpreting the letter of the word of truth only, as did the Jews, adn by doing the 'works', rather than the 'good works' (Ephesians 2:8-10), which we do not 'do', but we 'walk in them' (verse 10), as 'before (creation) foreordained of God', in faith, which worketh by love': Galatians 5:6b.

I am in the process of 'final edit' on all of these thousands of files, which have been seriously delayed by the failing of my six-year old computer, and the setting  up of three new ones, two of which were unsatisfactory, which I had loaded, and unloaded, with the use of each computer, my resolve being on the one I am currently using.

And I have had to manipulate the 'advanced' programs, which were not compatible with my original computer because those 'advanced' programs outmoded previous versions, such as the older version of 'Wordperfect.wps' to the new 'Wordperfect X5.wpd', that I purchased separately from the new computer(s), which 'advanced' and updated programs I have felt was probably with regards of more profit for the companies that supply these computers and programs (which are purchased separately from the computer package of 'trial' versions)!


That being said, I have almost completely adapted to the new and incompatible systems I purchased, with some of the downloads from the internet, and still have one more step to take to final editing with the problem that having to buy a new computer have raised up like a snake in the bush, and that is to convert each of thousands of files from 'Wordperfect.wps' to 'Wordperfect X5,wpd'.

I do have hardcopies of hundreds of those files, which, as a last and painstaking resort, I can retype into this computer, and that will take a lot of time out of my editing.

So I do have a problem here, but I continue to write day by day, because I love all my sisters and brothers of every nation, and of every denomination, and I will continue to write the truth that is within the word of truth, as revealed by the Spirit of truth, the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of God, Who, by the ministry of Jesus from heaven (John 1:33; Acts 2:4; Joel 2:28-29), is given to every believer that will receive Him, that we may all know the truth by Him.

So, as individual believers, we must be humble, with charity, and we must conform to the 'patterns' of God, and His faith principles, of which I write daily, and post on the blogpost on the internet, so that every believer (or even non-believer) may copy them and send them to as many as possible, that the word of truth shall be known, and the Church may come together in the gospel of Christ, that the last harvest of souls from the lost and dying world may be served in the love of God in the gospel.
(Ref: Romans chapter 14; I Corinthians 1:10; I Corinthians 2:2)..

I will not quibble, debate (which is a work of the flesh), or contend with any other believer over the differences of doctrinal beliefs, but I will only write the truth, which sometimes may be harsh, but it is not; it is with the pure love of God for my brethren, to whom I am writing the pure truth, that we may all receive great reward at the judgment seat of Christ.


I will endeavor to have full fellowship with every believer, whether we agree on doctrinal beliefs or not, and we shall preach the gospel, and love one another, that all men may see that we are the disciples of Christ, and His ambassadors to the world, with love for God, and for one another, seeing that we are of the same household of God by Christ Jesus, through the faith of Abraham, who believed in Christ, Abraham's 'Seed'.

Please read the following scriptural references, which are hardly, if at all, taught in denominational church assemblies and organizations, and determine which way you will choose to go:

(II Timothy 3:16-17; II Timothy 2:15; I Corinthians 1:10; I Corinthians 2:14; Isaiah 55:8-11; Hosea 6:1-3; John 13:34-35; Galatians 3:5a; Matthew 22:37-40; John 16:12-13; John 14:21-24; Deuteronomy 18:18-19; Romans chapter 14; I Corinthians 2:2; Ephesians 2:8-10;
Romans 13:8; Romans 3:20-31, for now)

God loves you: love Him back. It is the responsibility of each and every believer to learn toe truth, that we, each, 'may be approved of God, rightly dividing the word of truth.'

'From the End to the Beginning' (April 11, 2012)

By Allan Thomasson

Pick up the news. What do you see?

Some happy things; some sad.                (Marriages, awards vs. obituaries, politics)
You think about America.
That make you feel so glad

The freedom, and the liberty:

Free speech. Free worship, too.            (The Constitution, and amendments 1, 2...)
It's like God knew just what we'd want.
Made it for me and you.                           ('Christian nation')

But what if, soon, we lost those things

Which make this country great?             (Remember 9-11)
If something unpredictable
Should change our country's state.

One nation in the Bible did                   (Canaanites)

Misuse their freedom dear,               (Leviticus chapters 18 and 20)
And God sent Israel to their land,
And made them disappear.                  (Numbers chapter 26, to begin with)

The Canaanites defiled their land;

Were overcome, destroyed:
Defiled their land, misused their freedom.
God made their land void.

We must return to God (, Who loves us),

As we were before,
A 'Christian nation', worldwide known.
And we increased the more,

When godly men set our course then.

But look! Where are we now?
Are we defiling this great land?
How much will God allow?

We took this land from other peoples,

Who forgot their God.
Their villages were then destroyed.
They lie beneath the sod.

God takes no respect of men,                      James 2:1

For He loves us all the same.
And He must build His family,
And give to us His name.

We, once, too, had His name, as well,

The 'Christian nation', then,
We drifted off, away from God,
And now, are deep in sin.

When will God send a foe (not friend)

To end our nation's days?
As God destroyed the Canaanites
For their pernicious ways.

We must return to God, and soon,

Or witness our own end:
Be saved today; repent, and pray,                   II Chronicles 7:14

On God we can depend:

We know what's right! Join in the fight.

Our God we can't forget.
Begin today, don't turn away,
Of this there's no regret.

Remember now the Canaanites,

And stop our massive sinning,
That God above may show His love,
From the End to the Beginning.

Education of the mind, heart, and ears:

Educated by the philosophies, religion, colleagues, academia? I have indeed been taught in the statutes and limitations of those utilities.

But most of all, I have been educated by the Spirit of Truth, God, the Holy Ghost, the Spirit.

One might say, ‘Is that different than Studying the Word?’

While it is necessary to study the ‘word of truth’, it is essential to know the truth that is within the ‘word of truth’.

Now one may ask, ‘Isn’t the ‘letter’ of the word the truth?’

There is no doubt that throughout the whole Christian Bible (both Old and New Testaments) is the true accounts of all things which pertain to life and godliness, and contains the truth in all things pertaining to the spiritual principles, and doctrines, and knowledge of God, which are hidden from the natural man, that he may not glory in them to himself, but are made known only to those who follow the patterns and principles of Jehovah God, which He has shown clearly and concisely by the hidden truths within the ‘letter’ of the word.

Yes, we must, by proper application, as declared in the scriptures, conform to the ‘letter’. And that is exactly what the Jews did under the law. (See Ephesians 2:8-10, below.)

But the Jews profited nothing by just performing the works of the law by the letter:

Romans 9:31-32:

31) “But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained unto (received)
righteousness.
32) “Wherefore (Why)? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the (very) ‘works’ of (the ‘letter’ of) the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone (faith).”

Ephesians 2:8-10: ‘Works’, by the law, vs. ‘good works’, through faith, which worketh by love, thereby manifesting the law in action:

8) “For by grace (which came by Jesus Christ: I John 1:17) are ye saved through faith; and that (neither grace nor faith is) not of yourselves: it is the gift of God (to all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ):
9) “Not of ‘works’, lest any man should boast (or glory in any accomplishment of his own!).
10) “For we are His workmanship, created (re-created, born again, a ‘new man’) in Christ Jesus unto ‘good works’ (which are the product of our ‘faith, which worketh by love’: Galatians 5:6b), which God hath before (creation) ordained that we should walk in them.”

And that is how we, by the commandments of Jesus Christ, fulfil the law of Moses, and establish the law, through faith, which worketh by love:

Romans 13:8-10:
8) “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that (walking in ‘good works’, in ‘faith, which worketh by love’) loveth another hath fulfilled the law (of Moses).
9) “For this (reason), ‘Thou shalt not commit adultery’, ‘Thou shalt not kill (murder)’, ‘Thou shalt not steal’, ‘Thou shalt not bear false witness (‘against thy neighbour’)’, ‘Thou shalt not covet’ (lust for that which is not yours, or not legitimately obtainable with fair consequence).
10) “And if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.’.”

But there is only one ‘pattern’ of the essential steps that we must take , in order to attain to that stature in the Infinite God whereby we are qualified to know the truth within those words of the scripture. And after the completion of those obediences, we then are given the capability of discerning the truths from the word of truth:

Romans 10:17:

17) “So then faith cometh by ‘hearing’, and ‘hearing’ by the word of God.”

Jesus spoke to Jews who were born again, for they had believed on Him (John 1:11-13):

John 8:32:

32) “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Emphasis on ‘shall’: Though they were born by the Spirit, saved from their past sins with their eternal penalty in hell and the lake of fire, they did not yet have access to the knowledge of the truth, any more than any other natural man with his natural carnal mind, as we also see so many who are currently in that same status of the believers who lived under the law, including the apostles (John 16:12-13), who were given the power over all the power of the enemy, the devil (Luke 10:19), and had the power to heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out devils, and cleanse the leper (Matthew 10:8); and it is obvious that so many true believing sisters and brothers do not know the (hidden) truth of the Spirit of God, because we have so many variations of what some call the truth in their doctrinal beliefs, most of which have been determined by man’s natural evaluation of the word of truth, the Christhan Bible.

And because of man’s natural (carnal) reasoning, and literal interpretation (with partial blindness, as the Jews had when they rejected Jesus and crucified Him: Romans 11:25), we are not keeping the commandments of Christ, which came from God the Father.

(John 13:34-35; John 14:21-24; Deuteronomy 18:18-19; Ephesians 2:8-10)

Thus, we do not in any way conform to the pattern which God has given for the Church:

I Corinthians 1:10

Here is the reason that man cannot, in his own natural reasoning and evaluations and analyses of the letter of the word, attain to the truth, stated in the following scriptures:

I Corinthians 2:14:

14) “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”

By all of man’s many generations of accumulated knowledge and practical reasoning, natural man does not, nor can the natural man obtain, the capability of knowing any spiritual thing. For God has reserved that knowledge (and keeps it hidden) that it might be revealed by His Spirit to only His sons (children), ‘if we follow on to know the Lord’

Hosea 6:3a:

3a) “Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord:”

When we as individuals believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the only true and living God Jehovah, we are free from the guilt and ultimate eternal penalty of our past sins which we have committed (Romans 3:23), though our flesh still condemned to die because of those sins (Romans 5:12; Hebrews 9:27), our souls are saved from the current hellfire

(Psalm 9:17), which will be after our death sentence is executed, and from the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10-15), and our everlasting ‘fate’ then becomes our eternal ‘destiny’ (as shown in Revelation 21:1-7).

The reason I am writing these blogs is essentially so that everyone that reads them can get a 'real truth' study in the Christian Bible, which is the Old Testament, and the New Testament.

It is time for a 'cram' course in the scriptures, because we are coming to the point in the end of the aga of the Church, which will be taken up shortly by Jesus Christ, when He comes for His bride, which is the Church.

And after that the Church is taken out of the world, all of these warnings (wars, rumors and threats of wars, extreme weather, raging seas, floods, many tornadoes in one storm, multiple times, the rising of false religions, the world having little or no respect for God, and for His word, and for His people, as we go into 'all the world, and preach the gospel', murders, torture, drugs, robberies, every evil thing coming to the peak...and these are just some of the warnings. Others, of which I can only imagine at the moment, I shall reneg to list, for they are almost insurmountable to mention at this time.

And the great and final harvest of souls is about to begin on a major scale, for God is calling His Church of true believers to come together in just one thing: the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the first priority of the Church that Jesus built, and that is the only reason the Church is on the earth primarily, to spread the saving gospel of Jesus to all the world, 'until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.':

Romans 11:25: The Jews were partially blinded so that God could go to the Gentiles with the gospel:
25) "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in."

Now God is the only One Who knows when that particular juncture will be fulfilled. And at that time, the Church will no longer be left upon the earth:

I Corinthians 15;51-53:
51) "Behold, I show you a mystery; 'We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed (by the resurrection of the dead, or by the spiritual transformation of our bodies, to become eternal),
52) "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (to incorruptible).
53) "For this corruptible (body) must put on (take on) incorruption (incorruptibility), and this mortal must put on immortality (that it never shall cease to live, or to

First, we must return unto the Lord (Hosea 6:1-3), for we have departed from His patterns by which He designed the Church, in that we have not kept our first estate: one body:

I Corinthians 12:27: The description of the true and functional Church, the witness to the world:
27) "Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular."

And we are not 'true to form', according to the following 'pattern', to which we must conform:

I Corinthians 1:10: Paul firmly, but lovingly, admonishes us in the 'pattern' of God for the Church:
10) "

We have become many divisions (denominations), and we do not 'all speak the same thing'; neither are we perfectly joined togetherr in the same mind and in the same judgmet.' (Is that strike three?)

So now, what has it come down to? Fellowship in the gospel of Christ, the salvation of lost souls:

I Corinthians 2:2: Paul, seeing divisions within the body of Christ, offers this final resonution:
 2) "For I am determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified."

So, if that's what it has come down to in these last days of the Church, we must settle on the one main priority of the Church, and come together on that basis; for prophecy states that we must return unto the Lord': Hosea 6:1-3.

I know: some of you may have been taught that this passage is in regards to the resurrection of Jesus.
but we must realize, that it is not. It is specifically in regard to the Church, who has denied the will of God, and gone their own way, as did the Jews, when they decided to run things on their own, because they thought their ways were the way they should go. But as we can readily see, our way was not the best way, for look where it took us: multidenominational, diverse in doctrines and administrations, loss of power, and without the Spirit of truth, 'He will guide you into all truth.'

So, where is He? On the outside, looking in!

The apostles were commanded by our Lord Jesus Christ, to 'teach all nations, teaching them to observe (do, teach, and maintain) all things whatsoever I have commanded you...' And to those with whom the apostles could make contact in the days of their ministries, they could speak those things that Christ had commanded them; but to us, who 'are afar off' in the future, they had to write epistles and accounts, which, today we call 'the four gospels'. And those are our 'New Testament', authorized by our Lord Jesus Christ, by His commandment to them.

Read my blogs, which contain writings, notes, affirmations, poems, tips and outlines, in all areas of the word of truth.

I will remove some of them from time to time, to make room for more.

If you want to make yourself a book, copy those things you want to keep, remembering that they may not be there again for a while when they are removed; but from time to time, I will re-post them, so that others will have an opportunity to get copies, and keep a book of them, in the deeper studies of the truth in God's true word of truth.

To some of them, I will add more detail, and clarify them more discretely. However, some of them may not be posted any more, because I am seventy-five years old, and I don't know when my Father may call me home to be with Him for evermore.

Until then, however, I shall be active in promoting our return to God on His basis, and not our own.

God loves you, and He wants you to become His child for ever. Love Him back: say 'yes' to His call.

'The End' (April 10,2012)

By Allan Thomasson

When the end shall come, my friend,

Oh, yes; there shall be an end,                 Revelation 20:11; II Peter 3:10-14
Where will your eternal soul
Be, while endless ages roll?

Come along, and go with me

To a glorious destiny,
God shall make all things brand new,
For His children, me, and you.

Trust in Jesus, for He came

To give to us His holy name,
So when we ask for any thing,
We then receive, from Christ our King.          John 14:13

He never failed us, never will,

For His pure love continues still;
Eternal love from God above,
Eternal peace, with joy and love.

We must ask others to go too,

Christ died not just for me and you,             Isaiah 53:5-6
But all the world who trust in Him,
And He'll forgive their former sin.

There is another place, you know,

For God's own word has told us so.
Made for the devil and his band,
It wasn't made for mortal man.

We're made to be God's family,                     I John 3:1-3

Through life, and in eternity.
But some have done the wicked thing,
Did not believe on Christ, our King.         John 3:16-18

And all the wicked now must be

Together in eternity.
That everlasting lake of fire,
And going there one can't desire.

Wake up! wake up! That time is near.

Believe in Jesus. It's quite clear,
That those who won't sadly must go
To that deep pit that's down below.

God is the Judge, and righteous, He

Will thus decide our destiny.                      Revelation 20:10-20; 21:1-7
Be saved. Believe in Him today,                   Acts 16:31
For Jesus is the only Way.                    John 14:6; Acts 4:12

'Day By Day' (April 9, 2012)

By Allan Thomasson

Many people, day by day,

Are coming to the Lord.                                   Acts 16:31; John 14:6
Some of them had never heard
The message of His Word.                        John 3:16-18

Are we too busy now to preach

Salvation to the lost?
So many dying, day by day,
So we, at any cost,

Must preach the word, 'til all have heard;           Mark 16:15

They need to understand
That Jesus paid for their salvation
At His fierce haters' hand.                               Isaiah 53:5-6

Why must we wait 'til it's too late

To save some from that fall?                                Jude 22, 23
Let's tell them Jesus died for them:
Yes, Jesus paid it all.

I want the rankest atheist

To hear the word of life,
That they may be delivered from
Their days of sin and strife.

Secular humanists, as well,

To come and live with me
In that new heaven and new earth              Revelation 21:1-7
In God's eternity.

And scientists, who have been misled,

Deluded by their schemes,
Who say of God, 'It can'tbe so',
I'll shatter all their dreams,

And tell them that eternal science

Is all there'll ever be,
Except the time the universe
Was here for all to see.

For Infinite Science doth reign,

And when the earth is gone,
And also, this great universe,
Our souls shall linger on

Within that great eternal region

From which all this came.
Away with all your theories:
Just believe in Jesus' name.

In that great sphere, 'eternity',

All things shall be made known.
The things I write, and speak, and think,
Are not things of my own;

The word of God, the Christian Bible,

Speaks of all those things.
And I but write the truths of God,
As to my mind God brings

The principle of love for all

Who will receive His Son;                       Romans 5:8
And in the end, my doubtful friend,
His work shall all be done.                     Revelation 20:10-15

And many will then go to God,

Much more will go to hell:                   Daniel 12:2
That everlasting lake of fire,
Which they will know so well;

For in that fire, their firm desire,

Is just that they could die.
But that can't be, in eternity,
For not a second goes by.

To die would take a little time,

Eternity has none.
You must then come to God on earth,
Believing in His Son.

So, when this earth shall pass away,            II Peter 3:10-13

And this great universe,
We'll each be found where we are bound,
For 'better', or for 'worse'.

There then shall be no 'natural',

But just 'Infinity'.
In the place we'll evermore exist
In that eternity.

Make up your mind, while you may find

That God of all creation.
Give Him your heart, make that new start,
Receive His free salvation.

Ephesians 2:8-10:
 8) "For by grace ( only through Christ) are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:it is the gift of God:
 9) "Not of (the) works (performance of the flesh), lest any man should boast.
10) "For we are HIS workmanship, created (re-created, born again, a 'new man') in Christ Jesus unto 'good' works (through faith, which worketh by love: Galatians 5:6b), which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

‘There Is A Place’   (April 8, 2012)

By Allan Thomasson

There is a place beyond this place,

To which we should be bound.
If we’ve believed in Jesus Christ,
In Him we shall be found.                                 II Peter 3:14

But if we’ve not believed in Him,

That means our soul is lost.                               John 3:18b
We’ll wander in our wilderness,
And then, we’ll pay the cost.                             Revelation 20:10-15

God sent His Son for everyone,

That through Him, we’d be saved.                   John 3:16-18a
But that decision we must make
Before we’re in our grave.                                 John 8:24

God’s love, extended to all man,

Is there for all to know;
For Jesus Christ has paid the price,
That free we now may go.

For our past sins would enter in

To judgment some sad day.                               Revelation 20:11-15
Believe in Jesus, for He came
To take our sins away.                                         Hebrews 10:1-5

And then receive the Holy Ghost,

That God’s truth we may know,         John 8:32, 36; John 16:12-13; Acts 2:1-4; Acts 10:43-48
That we might all be one someday,
And fellowship shall flow,

With joyful love from up above,

It is God’s will for all.                                               I Corinthians 1:10; I Corinthians 12:27
And Christ’s commandments clearly spoken
Keeps us from a fall.                                                Deuteronomy 18:18-19; John 14:21-24

For Christ’s commandments He did give,

For perfect harmony,                                              Matthew 22:37-40; John 13:34-35
Until our blessed Lord appears,
Then free from strife we'll be.                               I John 3:1-3

For Christ, our Savior, paid it all,                           Isaiah 53:5-6

So all to Him we owe
A million years of gratitude,
For to heaven we shall go.

He’ll make a place beyond this place,

Eternal in the heaven,                                            Revelation 21:1-7
And when the universe is gone,                           Revelation 20:11; II Peter 3:10-13
There is a place He’s given

By promise in His holy word.

His every word is true.
And by His grace, there is a place
Prepared for me and you.                                    John 14:1

'Deeper in the truth of the word of truth', the Christian Bible'. That is the purpose of all these blogs.

Get a deeper Bible study with more details, and learn the true principles of God in truth by reading my poems and blogs.

While I love all my sisters and brothers in Christ, in whatever denomination they are affiliated, and will never cease to show it in every way, there are numerous and obvious diversities among them by their doctrines.

And I am writing God's truths, and revealing His patterns for our personal relationship with Him, and the true doctrines of God from the Bible, which will correct that, as the Lord directs.

I will neither compromise nor debate the word of truth, for there is no successful argument against God's truth.

All my sisters and brothers are precious to me and my God, for they are more than family; they are 'eternal' family. Therefore, I will write the spiritual truth, that we all may conform to the pattern of God for the Church that Jesus built, 'And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.'

I will point out understandings which will surely be, in some cases, different from the many diverse and established understanding, from denominstion to denomination, and from church to church, and even from individual to individual, in the love of God in my heart, because I want all of us to fully understand the truth, that we may glorify our heavenly Father, and keep the commandments of Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Savior. (John 16:12-13; John 13:34-35; Matthew 22:37-40)

No man can guide you into all truth, for that is the assignment given only to the Spirit of truth, the Holy Ghost. But I can, by the word of truth, lead you to God's plan for you to receive the Holy Ghost.

Every believer's 'body is the 'temple of the Holy Ghost'. And He is given to every believer, for He is the earnest (assurance of the completion) of our salvation. (II Corinthians 5:5), which also the apostles had been given, as they walked with God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. However, at that time, the Holy Ghost was 'with' them, and not 'in' them, as God has promised the Church of true believers, from the day of Pentecost, at which time they were all baptized with the Holy Ghost.
(Acts 1:4-5, 8; Acts 2:1-4; Joel 2:28-29)

One thing we must note here: the Churches, the believers were taught, expected, and had received the baptism with the Holy Ghost, as the apostles did, both Jews and Gentiles. And today, we do not have that in every 'denomination', for many have abandoned that ministry of Christ, and some others have become so formal that the doctrine which God established to John the Baptist (John 1:33) is no longer regarded as a work of God; and to some, it is regarded as 'foolishness'. And to still other believers, it is referred to a 'the work of the devil'. And I used to be one of the foregoing.

You can find all the details in my blogs. It is a requirement and a concise stipulation we must allow in our own personal life in order to know the truth, as we observe in the various denominations who believe they know the truth, though it differs from denomination to denomination, church to church, and individual to individual. And we must come together on not only free salvation through Jesus Christ, but the specific doctrines of God, one of which is the baptism with the Holy Ghost, as He declared to John the Baptist in John 1:33.

And we are divided, because so many believers did not know the truth, but by man's natural reasoning and understanding of the words of the scriptures (just like the Jews), they determined the meaning of the 'letter' of the true word of truth, without the guidance of the Spirit of truth.

I Corinthians 2:14: Paul gives us the reason that the Church has become many denominations:
14) "But the natural (carnal, finite) man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them for they are spiritually discerned (by the Spirit of truth)."

 I Corinthians 1:10: With humility, and charity, we must conform to this pattern of our loving God:
10) "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing (doctrine, truth), and that there be no divisions (denominations) among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment."

I Corinthians 12:27-28: Paul speaks of the body of Christ, the Church of true believers:

27) "Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

28) "And God hath set some (various members) in the Church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that (those who exercise the gift of) miracles, then (also other) gifts of healings, (some who minister) helps (assisting other members in their ministries, and in the order of the Church), governments (administration), diversities of tongues (and other things which are not specifically listed here)."

And we must 'grow' to certain levels of maturity, that we might become those members of whom the Church really is:

Isaiah 28:9-10: When we have 'grown' to a degree which this word declares, we then follow this pattern of God as a searcher and minister of this truth of the true principles of God:

 9) "Whom shall He teach knowledge? and whom shall He make to understand (God's) doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts." (this being one of such maturity as will use 'strong meat')

(Hebrews 5:13-14:

13) "For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe,"

14) "But strong meat belongeth to them that are (matured in Christ) of full age, even those who by reason of use have their (spiritual reasoning, and) senses exercised to descern (distinguish) both good and evil.") (II Timothy 2:15)

10) "For precept must be (correctly applied) upon (every other applicable coordinating) precept, (and any resulting) precept upon (its coordinating) precept; line (verse, phrase, or principle) upon (each 'sister') line, (with its matching) line upon line; here a little (from a part of truth), and there a little (more part(s) of truths which will substantiate spiritual principles of God's truths within the totality of the scriptures in the word of truth)."

Isaiah 55:8-11: As God relates to our natural, carnal, and finite reasoning and understanding:

 8) "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are 

John 8:32, 36: Jesus speaking to saved Jews as to the ministry He performs from heaven:

32) "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

36) "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free inded." (See John 1:33)

(Ref: Acts 10:43-48)

Read Romans chapter 14 for the pattern of God regarding differences between believers on doctrinal beliefs, which requires both humility and charity between the brethren, which condemns judging and despising one another. The primary verses to which we must pay particular attention are these: 1-6, 10, 12-13, 15, 17-19.

And fully observe II Timothy 2:15, with II Timothy 3:16-17, Isaiah 28:9-10, and Isaiah 55:8-11.

God loves you. Get to know Him through His word, and love Him back.   dunomos@aol.com
